In a lengthy government statement on Friday, the Iranian government warned that it would take "whatever reciprocal measures it deems expedient" if it is not fully compensated for the US withdrawal from the nuclear agreement as provided for in the accord.

"We have to work among ourselves in Europe to defend our economic sovereignty", Le Maire told Europe 1 radio ahead of talks with Dutch Finance Minister Wopke Hoekstra.

Europeans are seeking to demonstrate that they can still deliver most of the economic benefits Tehran was promised in exchange for limiting its nuclear program and allowing a robust system of worldwide inspections, as well as persuade European companies active in Iran not to abandon their deals out of fear of being penalized by the U.S.

"We want to reinforce this regulation and incorporate the recent decisions taken by the United States", Le Maire said.

Iran said it may resume uranium enrichment in a higher rate in weeks if it finds nuclear deal will not work anymore after the US pullout from the deal.

France and its European allies plan to submit proposals to the European Commission that are created to strengthen Europe's capacity to defend its economic interests, France's finance minister, Bruno Le Maire, said on Friday.

The leaders of Britain, France and Germany tried but failed to persuade Trump to stick with the deal.

Analysts say oil prices are already high enough to cause a drag on the economy.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke Friday and underlined their aim of preserving the deal and peace in the Mideast.

Even the US needs global partners, she cautioned, saying: "No country is big enough to face this world alone". But Muslims-i.e. Saudi Arabia-have their problem with what they regard as a "Shia" Iranian bomb.

Tens of thousands of Iranians have marched in Tehran and other major cities to protest against Washington's withdrawal from the 2015 nuclear accord between Tehran and six world powers and the U.S. re-imposition of sanctions on Iran.

However, Le Maire acknowledged he has "no illusions" that he'll get what he asked for.

Celia Belin, a former policy adviser to the French foreign ministry and a visiting fellow to the Brookings Institution in Washington, says Europe will not reimpose its own sanctions on Iran.

The U.S. has given buyers 180 days to wind down shipments from the Middle East producer to avoid penalties. Jean-Claude Juncker, the president of the European Union's executive body, said the U.S.

Meanwhile, the US government tried to further pinch Iran's finances by disrupting a currency exchange network allegedly used to transfer millions of dollars to Iran's Revolutionary Guard.
